Secondary objectives:
- apply horizon scanning to identify innovative health delivery models that are adaptable to the Norwegian health care system and, on theoretical grounds, select a few models for pilot testing,
- develop methods for pilot testing (WP3) and apply them to chosen pilot models to identify the ones that are appropriate and beneficial for (wide-scale) implementation,
- evaluate alternative models for reimbursing general practitioners,
- analyze effects health service use for selected labor market groups to identify strategies that stimulates returns to work, in particular for patients with mental illness,
- perform Nordic comparative effectiveness analyses,
- design and implement effective communication strategies.
